For those of you who like the First Amendment, here is some good news. For those of you who do not like the first Amendment, you are on the the wrong website; please go home and crawl under your rocks (bunkers, yachts, spacecraft, etc.)

The Stalinesque J20 Trial is now underway in the Capitol of our Capitalistic society. J20 refers to the date of the Orangutan's inauguration as world's most powerful ape. 33 minutes of mayhem and property destruction accompanied an otherwise peaceful protest of citizens against LOTE Trump's elevation to to the throne.

With the characteristic finesse of the Washington Metro police dept, heavily aided by all sorts of government operatives armed with body cams, 184 people attending the inauguration were penned up like cattle when they tried to leave the scene. The "kettling" was simple: arrest the first bunch of folks walking away from the demonstration, whether or not they had anything to do with the property damage. So, while genuine property destroying elements may have been corralled, most of the unfortunates so encumbered were journalists, medial aid personnel or simply innocent observers.

The laundry list of charges was an example of legal "piling on" (which, if this were the NFL, would have gained a substantial penalty).

The government (aka MAGAcytes) attempted to squelch this demonstration of protest, primarily peaceful, by just grabbing the first observers trying to leave the scene. Yes damage was done to physical property. But were those corralled and arrested necessarily guilty? Body cam and observers testimony could not determine that any of the initial 6 defendants were guilty of anything except being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Not Guilty verdicts were rendered to the first 6 of 184 tried.

All six defendants in a crucial trial involving demonstrators arrested during President Donald Trump’s inauguration were found not guilty of all charges on Thursday.

The trial of the six defendants ― Jennifer Armento, Oliver Harris, Brittne Lawson, Michelle Macchio, Christina Simmons and Alexei Wood ― began in mid-November. It raised major First Amendment issues and was seen as a bellwether that could determine whether the government will proceed with the prosecutions of many of the nearly 200 other defendants who have trials scheduled throughout the next year.

Justice Department prosecutors representing the U.S. government conceded at the beginning of the trial that there was no evidence any of the six defendants engaged in any property destruction or violence on Jan. 20. But they alleged the defendants were part of a rioting conspiracy

But, fuck it all, let's try them anyway. And that's what the DOJ, under the direction of J. Beauregard Sessions is going to do. Yes, pounce on innocent (for the most part) plebes rather than Killary Klinton and her emailing friends who actually did compromise national security.

Fake news? Yes, there is plenty of that, going back decades. Only recently has the woke public been aware of that. Fake prosecutions? We have an administration that proudly adopts the tactics of Josef Stalin and Adolph Hitler or trying anyone trying to stand up to him (with the notable exception of HRC).

Please remember that the arresting agency is none other than the DC Metro Police which has done such an excellent investigation of Seth Rich's murder. Prejudice here? Say what?

Attorneys also suggested the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia is only pursuing the case to protect the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, which appears to have violated D.C. regulations laying out how law enforcement is supposed to handle demonstrations in the nation’s capital. Video showed officers shooting pepper spray with abandon and using questionable force against individuals who didn’t appear to pose any threat....

Defense attorneys also zeroed in on the biases of Metropolitan Police Department Detective Gregg Pemberton, who has been investigating the inauguration unrest every working day since Jan. 20. Pemberton had sent anti-activist tweets and written disparagingly about Black Lives Matter.

Damage Control anyone?
